DVD Reviews of Little Bear - Little Bear's Band

DVD Review: Episodes Included
Summary: 5 Stars

The main episodes are: "Little Bear Sings A Song," "Diva Hen," "Clever Cricket," and "Little Bear's Band."
+ there are bonus episodes: The Painting, The Kiss, The Wedding (these 3 are supposed to be played together); Valentine's Day; Emily's Visit; I'll Be You, You'll Be Me; Lucy Needs a Friend; Princess Duck
Hope that helps someone- I wish someone would post the episodes on some of the other (discontinued) DVDs, so I would know if they were worth the hassle to get.
We have 5 kids ages 15 down to 2 and they all enjoy Little Bear's gentle stories.

DVD Review: She Loves It!
Summary: 5 Stars

My daughter is 22 months old and is a huge fan of Little Bear. We traveled 10 hours in the car to NC and she watched Little Bears Band and Little Bears Rainy Day Tails for 10 hours straight. I believe there are 12 episodes on each disc and they are very relaxing!

DVD Review: 15 year old relives his toddler years
Summary: 5 Stars

My son turned 15 August 22. As a toddler his favorite show was Little Bear. He would sing "Little Bear, Little Bear Sing a Song" all day. It seemed, at the time, to be his favorite episode. A tradition in our family is for the birthday person to choose a restaurant for the birthday dinner. After dinner the family gathered round the tv. I had setup the dvd to start right when the song comes on. The expression on my son's face was priceless. I could tell that he was filled with emotion and he was overwhelmed with the memories of his early years. After watching Little Bear we continued talking about the past and how much "fun things were when you don't have to deal with the drama and stress of high school life." Little Bear is a treasure for my son but that evening it became a treasure for us all.

DVD Review: Talk about holding on to resale value!!
Summary: 5 Stars

You can get a sense of how awesome the Little Bear videos are from the fact that they almost never come up for sale used much cheaper than the new ones, here or on ebay. I've been combing the internet for used Little Bears, and they are like gold, for good reason!

If you are tired of shows that are loud and fast-paced, or tired of commercials on tv, and just want wholesome, engaging, fairly low-key entertainment for your child, Little Bear is IT! Another reviewer recommended renting first to find out which ones your family likes best, and I heartily agree.

That said, once you start buying Little Bear videos, it's hard to stop! This one was initially not one of our (me and my daughter, now age 2 1/2) favorites, but we just re-rented it from the library after not seeing it in a while, and it really grew on us. The clincher was that after watching the Valentine episode, while I was making dinner, my daughter spontaneously made me her first ever Valentine, then came into the kitchen to surprise me with it, saying, "Happy Birthday Valentine's Day, Mommy!" Way to go, Little Bear! ;-)

I am really surprised at how often my daughter is thinking about Little Bear plots and characters even when she's not watching it. We'll be driving somewhere, and she'll start talking about an episode, asking what happened with a certain character after the episode ended, etc. If that's not one sign of quality children's tv programming, I don't know what is! I also like that the characters all tend to treat each other with love and respect, so I don't have any worries about my daughter repeating words or actions she learns on Little Bear.

In addition, I really love how Little Bear has adventures using just his imagination and occasionally some simple household props. So many tv shows make you feel like you have to buy "stuff" to have fun. Not Little Bear! He can make a mountain out of a blanket, or a doll out of a scrap of old cloth, or a space helmet out of a box, and before you know it, he's off on an exciting adventure with his animal friends. I also appreciate that nontraditional families are shown: LB's friend Emily lives with her grandmother, and for some episodes, LB's father is "away," so it's just him and Mama Bear. I think it's good for children to grow up sensitive to and appreciative of all types of families. It's also neat that despite being an only child, er, bear, Little Bear is never bored, and always finds ways to create his own entertainment.

We will probably end up buying all the Little Bear DVDs, just to have a good variety to choose them. I hope my daughter likes them for a long time, because I like them too! They are cozy and sweet, and seem to embody everything that's good about children's tv. Two thumbs up, way up!

DVD Review: Little Bear, Little Bear's Band
Summary: 5 Stars

One day I was trying to find something to keep the interest of my 3 yr old special needs son, trying to expand his attentin span. My older girls loved Little Bear, so I gave it a shot. He adores this video and all the others I have been able to find! He interacts with the characters and will sit for hours (if I let him) and watch every moment!! What a wonderful creation, and a splendid movie for our youngsters!
